Cielo blanco



Mmm, cake
Blue ink on bond paper

I made a very similar drawing for a friend's birthday card (obviously saying happy birthday at the top, lol) but didn't have time to snap a picture, so I decided to try and draw it again before I forgot how it was. This one looks even better, honestly.

Cielo medio despejadito: Redux



Don't Adjust Your TV Just Yet. (Dizque)
pencil, illustrator and photoshop
15x10cms

---

The sketch I made for drawing class in pencil, and then due to a lack of scanner tok a picture and vectorized before adding effects in photoshop. Based on a photo I once took of a cousin of mine - it looks nothing like him, but I really liked the energy in the sketch, which was lost completely in the painting I actually submited for class.

One of the paintings for my Drawing class, the theme of my individual project was 'contrast'. I braved the cold and went out for walks to draw buildings that caught my fancy, and then added the colors depending on that day's color of the sky.

Another painting for class, basically I just wanted to do mixed media, and do something ornamental and over the top. The final touch was spreading white glue and then just throwing sugar at it and hoping it would stick. It did, and now the painting shines when the light hits it, and looks wonderfully texturized.

Cielo nubladillo, despues de una semana de cielo increiblemente azul, tan raro en inglaterra

After ages of wanting one, I bought a moleskin sketchbook in Dublin last week, and while there are two sketches previous to this one, this is the first I truly liked. Drawn in a park with the sun shining down on me, and with pigeons walking around.

Nublado nubladisimo, como buen cielo Inglés

Long time no see! I'm studying abroad in England at the moment, and in between traveling and school I've been rather uninspired, but hopefully I'll get better soon. Still, I'm taking a drawing class, and this was one of my assignments:

Crappy photo is crappy 'cause I don't have easy access to a scanner right now. And yes, I just joined two A4 sheets, I'm too cheap to actually get an A3 sketchbook, lol.

Ni una nube, si por algo hace este frío de la chingada



Portrait of a sulk
Chinese ink on opalina paper.
20x23cms

I basically wanted to draw something really ornamental, and try a new way of inking - I despise inking with actual pens or markers, and in contrast I really enjoy working with brushes. I've been experimenting with a looser, freer stroke nowadays; it's much more fun, even if things end up sort of lopsided, haha.

Cielo azul a más no poder, sin una sola nube



Chinese ink and watercolors on guarro paper.
15x23 cms.

My entry for this week's Illustration Friday; the theme was Wise. I couldn't really think of anything, and then all I could think of was Merlin - not the young, creepily smirking BBC new version, but rather the weirdly adorable creepy hawaiian-print wearer old guy from Disney, haha. Ah, well, such is my mind.

Cielo todo negrito, una que otra estrellita



Mosaicos
Acrylics on illustration board
21x21cms

I started this little project around August, mostly because I wanted to frame something I'd painted and put it up in my new, blank wall. I worked on it really sporadically and slowly, but I learned a lot from it, and had a lot of fun as well. This sort of illustrates my love for bright colors, textures and patterns; a sort of hectic representation of myself, haha.

Cielo despejadito, despejadito

What's this, another update? This soon? GASP. My, my, I'm shocked at myself.



Because sometimes you just want to say no.

Atardecer pasando de rosa a lila a azul

Why yes, I do remember this place.



WHY SO STYLISH?
Is it too obvious I'm about dying for a pair of green Ray-bans?
